Panthers Roster Projection Update

I imagine that somebody would pick up whoever gets cut between Glanton and Klein, so not sure that the PS eligibility will matter.  If anyone has a shot at the PS I would think it's Mayo, though your prior comment about cutting draft picks still holds true.

Pretty hard to argue with the picks you've listed. 

One question though about Foucault.  Even with Jonathan Martin's departure, I've not heard his name at all in the mix as backup OT.   How is he progressing?   Do you think there's a chance he could lose his place on the PS or is he still a project the Panthers really want to invest in?

Still very much a project and is being out played by Martin Wallace who will also probably be on the practice squad. Gettleman made a mistake last season by keeping him on the regular roster. There is little chance anyone else would have picked him up last year or this year.

It's funny how certain off season signings seem pretty decent when they happen and then down the road during TC, they aren't even in the mix/projected 53 man roster.  Jason Trusnik and Teddy Williams for example.  

Don't get me wrong, it's not like these dudes are all pro's, but were simply brought in to help assist in a ST overhaul and it appears neither will make the roster, barring any unforeseen injuries of course.  All comes down to a numbers game I suppose.

I think Byrd,Glanton, and Ward in place of Cotchery/Bersin, Mayo, and Todman. 

 

Time will tell but if we cut Byrd and Glanton they will be snatched up and they have a future with this team. Mayo I think will slip by but that's just opinion. I think we keep Ward to punish in the run game and use Tolbert as a 3rd RB.

    • we got spoiled having superman and even then...he wasn't enough. superman was a fluke. there are incredibly unrealistic expectations for a first round QB, especially a first overall pick. people look at the short term, first year, rather than what you might get the next 10 and they also think that what you see the first year or two is what you get the rest of the time.  it just doesn't work like that. these guys are all young and a work in progress. you draft on potential. what it takes to reach that potential is different for everyone and it all depends on the situation they fall into, the player pieces around them, the scheme they either put him in or develop around him (the latter is better), and the coaching they give him. then there's also the work the player has to put into it. the work they put into is is the only thing they can control. the rest is just luck. 
    • I actually agree with everything you've said here. My comment was directed to the posters who feel the need to derail threads with the same Bryce talking points over and over again. It's just tiresome, even if what they're saying has some truth to it.
    • That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it is off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. It buys nothing. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of taking the team to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary.
